From the Weyr and from the Bowl
Bronze and Brown and Blue and Green,
Rise the dragonmen of Pern,
Aloft, on wing, seen, then unseen.
Dragonman avoid excess
Greed will bring the Weyr distress;
To the ancient Laws adhere,
Prospers thus the Dragon-weyr.

Those people must be terrifically out of touch. I remember seeing things about those little lizards quite a while ago. They can actually glide for short distances like a sugar glider or flying squirrel. There are actually two different lizards, Draco Sumatranus (the one in the article) and Draco Volans. The former is thought to be a subspecies of the latter.
